Soul rock singer-songwriter straight outta Albany.

'My hole is warm and full of light'

I’m happily rockin’ the dinosaur digital workstation in an undisclosed location in Delmar. The recording is going more quickly than I’d imagined. I even came up with a brand new song this weekend – “City” – and start to finish, it’s all done.

Did I mention that even with a faux kit I’m the world’s worst drummer?

Of the 12 or so I’ve recorded, 7 make the cut. The new one bumped another track – zero sum game. A better song and a better fit – the lyrics link together tracks 2 and 7 quite nicely.

1. Muse2. Lights3. Sticky4. Sam5. Kick6. City7. MotherJudge

Short, you say?

I like to think it’s efficient.

I’m looking to document the pre-recording creative process for “City” while it’s still fresh in my mind. I’ll post a rough timeline of how it came together just as soon as I can have my head surgically removed from my navel.

BRYAN THOMAS is a soul rock singer-songwriter from Albany, NY. The Albany Times Union named Thomas “Best Male Singer-Songwriter” shortly after he released his acoustic hip-hop debut Radio Plastic Jennifer in 1999. The follow-up soul rock epic Ones and Zeros was Metroland Magazine’s “Album of the Year” in 2002. Yes, that was a long time ago. But no worries: Bryan still makes music when he can.
